MIAMI (CBSMiami) – One of the best parts of the holiday season is snuggling up on the sofa and watching a movie.

There is no shortage of options for films that are either about Christmas or take place during the holidays.

Indeed, Christmas movies have become as much a part of the holidays as Christmas trees and turkey dinner.

The selection is extremely diverse though, as genres can range from cartoons and comedies to action and adventure.

Rather than trying to rank the films, they've been split up into specific categories. You can be the judge of which ones may be better than others.
